Braking - Honda CB TWISTER Owner's Manual

DOWNSHIFTING
More higher downshifting speeds may over
load the engine and can cause damage to
the engine and transmission.

BRAKING

(Drum Type)
Your vehicle is equipped with mechanically-
activated drum brakes. Operating the brake
lever applies the front drum brake.
Depressing the brake pedal applies the rear
drum brake.
(Disc Type)
Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulically
activated disc brake in front and a
mechanically- activated drum brake at the
rear. Operating the brake lever applies the
front disc brake. Depressing the brake pedal
applies the rear drum brake.
36
For normal braking, apply both the brake
pedal and lever while downshifting to match
your road speed. For maximum braking,
close the throttle and firmly apply the pedal
and lever, pull in the clutch lever before
coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling
the engine.
Important Safety Reminders:
• Independent operation of only the brake
lever or brake pedal reduces stopping
performance.
• Extreme application of the brake
controls may cause wheel lock, reducing
control of the vehicle.
• When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn, closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce
control of the vehicle.
